Gem for STR.
There's more than enough Stamina on the gear to give you ample survivability, you're better off amping up your damage. If you get focused fired you have a shield, Defensive Stance and Spell Reflect/Shield Block to amp your survivability to obscene levels... plus you'll have a full Rage bar to wreck face with. In most cases you'll be ignored by the opposing team and be better off simply dealing more damage.

@kalyla: lol, who said anything bout full set. I will soon get my 1st peace (0: But I like to plan ahead and know what gems to aim for.
@Rpzip: Tx a lot for the input. Any suggestes for the meta? 24ap and speed or maybe the stun one or? I have increased speed due to the Boar's speed enchant - does that stack with the speed increase of the meta?

run speed enchants/gems don't stack.
str > ap for every gem. It's the exact same for all purposes, but slightly better for a few more (blessing of kings).
for meta gems...
Potent Unstable Diamond 24 AP and 5% stun resist is probably your best choice. But ... GL getting the gem requirements.
With the 3 red 3 yellow (don't forget other gear gem slots) it's hard to get the right mix of gems to min/max for that meta slot.

For meta gems i like Relentless Earthstor Diamond. 12agi and 3% increased crit damage. it helps get around resilience a bit.
oh yeah I see that one is a hard one to pull with 3 yellow and 3 red slots. though u could use some of the hybrid gems (green or purple). But sweet gem.
Also Brutal Earthstorm Diamond might be a good one - with mace spec and deep thunder that would be nice.

the increased crit damage only applies to yellow damage atm.

It's a bug, they are gonna fix that

straight damage is gonna out perform crit related gems. with the way resilience works, having 3% more damage from crits is pointless if you never crit.
I'd say gem for the stun resist or the root resist and just use Boar's Speed to boots, but that's me.

Yes, but it's not fixed right now :)... when it's going to be fixed will more than likely be the start of s3 so just get that gem for the s3 helm.
